SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent N0. 781,298, dated January 31, 1905.

Application filed Aug'ust 25, 1902. Serial No. 120,930.

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, WARREN B. PHILLIPS, a citizen of the United States, residing. at Fort Wayne, in the county of Allen and State of Indiana, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Gloves; and I do declare the following to be afull, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains are made with but little appreciable waste.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective View of the glove, showingthe palm side thereof. Fig. 2 is a plan showing the part which forms the palm, front of the fingers, and edges of the glove. Fig. 3 is a plan showing the part which forms the thumb.

- Fig. 4 is a plan showing the fourchette for the second finger. the four'chette for the'third finger. Fig. 6 is a plan showing the bias-cut piece which forms the back of the wrist. Fig. 7 is a plan showing the manner in which the thumb-pieces are cut from the stock. Fig. 8 is a plan showing the manner in which the fourchettes for the second finger are cut from the stock. Fig. 9 is a plan showing the manner inwhich the fourchettes for thethird finger are cut from used to form the backs of the two middle fingers 8 9. A'Y-shaped cut 10 is made in the palm-piece 1 for an opening for the thumb. The lower portions of the fourchettes, to-

Fig. 5 is a plan showing gether with the bias-cut piece 11, form the back of the glove.- In making the thumb the flap A, formed by the cutlO, is turned back, and the side E F of the thumb-piece 12 is sewed to'the palm-piece 1 along the Y-opening 10 between B C. The side F G of the thumb-piece is sewed to the palm-piece along the Y-opening between C D, and the sides of the flap A are sewed to the respective sides H l of the thumb-piece as the same is closed.

The fourchettes 6 and 7 are sewed, respectively, to the fingers 8 and 9 of the palmrpiece 1, and the bias piece 11 is sewed to the lower ends of the fourchettes and between the sides K L of the palm-piece as the same is closed, thus completing the glove.

By constructing my glove with the thumbpiece cut so the lower sides E F G'thereof converge and the sides H 1' are parallelthe same is capable of being cut so the remaining stock form's similar sides of other thumb-pieces, and i by arranging a die with cutting-lines, as

shown in Fig. 7 of the drawings, it is obvious that a number of thumb-pieces may be cut from the stock at one time and with practically no waste, and by making the fourchettes with their lower portions to conform with the sides of the upper portions-of other fourchettes the same may be cut from the stock with practically no waste. -'D ies may be arranged with cutting-lines, as shown in Figs. 8 and 9, with whichxto cut the respective'fourch ettes. Any suitable number of these thumbpieces or fourchettes may .becut from the stock at one time. The Figs. .7, 8, 9 of the them from the stock and not the extent to] which the plan can be carried.

By inserting the bias-cut piece 11 of woven goods between the sides K L of the palm-piece the wrist of the glove is thereby made to be yielding when lateral tension is applied a's" Patent, is-
